DEATH OF LEVI EMPIE.

Our dispatches yesterday morning con
tanned the news of Levi Empie's death.
This world was given us not to live in
but to die in IN the realms Of eternity life
is the antecedent, the pre- requisite; SO in
this world death is the only ever present.
As eternity means life SO time means
death. But for this world there would be
no death. Why death was made necessary
we don't know. but We DO know that this
earth is only vast graveyard. Death, not
life, is the distinctive feature Of its oceans,
seas and LANDS. Death dominates the i'll
animate as will as the animate. All are
marked with death. Everything is doomed
to die. The very leaves and grass die
Life is but an incident Of our
lifeless globe and life on this earth means
only death. lis whole outward form and
down into its folds as deep as man can go
is found only death. Its very stratums,
its rocks and clays and ocean beds are
composed of dead forms. Life is but the
product Of death on this earth in ten
thousand thousand directions. The air
we breath is expelled in moment devital

And so another has gone. Mr.. Levi
Empie one Of the most acute men, one of
the truest moral philosophers, for he was
truly such, that ever lived in Kansas, died
Oh Sunday last at his home in Burlingame.
Twenty five years ago he was in the prime
of his life surrounded by happy family,
three promising sons and one daughter.
Two Of those sors but just reached MAN.
hood and went the way of all the earth.
The daughter but just gained womanhood
to die, and now cur old friend is gone him
self. Few outside of his most intimate &C
quaintances ever understood or appreciated
tie great moral and mental powers of the
quiet merchant and banker Of Burlingame.
He lacked but the incentive of ambition to
have sent his name down to the generations
as statesman.
From yesterdays Commonwealth we
gather the following particulars:
Hon Levi E,upie, past Grand Master
of the Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows of
Kansas, died on Sunday the 10th inst, at
his residence in Burlingame. 1t is only
four of five days since we announced the
death of another past Grand Master of that
body. 1t was only last week that we saw
Mr.. Empie on the streets Of Topeka look
ing. and he said feeling, well. He
will be buried with the honors of the
order today after the arrival of all the
trains at Burlngame. Members of the
order from abroad are requested to take
their regaias with them. Mr. Empie was
born in Schoharie county, New York, in
1915, and consequently wss in HIS 72nd
year. He came to Kansas from Wisconsin
in 1867 and has resided in Burlingame
since that time, being we think, most of
the time engaged in the mercantile bust
uess He filled many important positions,
always with credit. The best eulogy on
Mr.. Empie is the statemen: that he was on
all occasions just and honorable man,
doing his duty as husband. father and
citizen.
